Don't know what that says or how to respond to it. The meme is meant to be funny. About miscommunication between a man and a woman. You went and turned this into a social issue and that's not even what it's about.

This is not a social issue, this is a very deep psychological issue (there is a slight difference in meanig between these words!), and the misunderstanding between men and women in this world is simply not funny, but a tragedy with very deep tragic roots making the life of many people on this planet a living hell. Sure it does also have a funny aspect, but you must be aware that, if you touch such a delicate issue in the subliminal misogynistic way in which you did it, people who have been suffering under this and happen to know the reason, will jump on your "funny" meme and elucidate the roots of this hell. And if you are surprised about that, I can only wonder where you have had your eyes and ears all the time

You think my life is easy? I wasn't born in an ice cream factory. I my share of being beat on physically and mentally by an overbearing, controlling father and no support from a mother who turned a blind eye to the cruelty. And you're right it does scar you for life. I have my share of self doubt and anxiety. It will probably never go away. I don't know how, but I'm still able to laugh at my eccentricities.

I am really, really glad that you understand my point What you tell about your father, was common practice until not so long ago (in this context, read about Josef Stalin's youth in Wikpedia - one is not so surprised that he became a brutal dictator after knowing that). I myself was physically beaten as well, but what was even worse, i was sexually abused as a very small child (not by family members, though) and grew up in an environment where I was convinced as a child that girls and women are second class humans without many rights. I had the problem to be intelligent enough to see this clearly but also understand that wiht respect to intelligence I was not at all inferior to boys (I am a scientist now). Later I had a severe mental disease that forced me for many, many years to take heavy psychopharmaceuticals. When it finally got healed (thank goodness I was lucky enough to really get healed) and didn't any longer take sedative drugs, I realized that I was heavily traumatized with very bad episodes of PTSD when the traumas were triggered. I am now in a very good special trauma pschotherapy (not many psychotherapists are able to deal with heavy traumatization) and it got already much better. Since I started to speak abot these problems with other peole, I heard from so many women that they were abused as children and still have heavy anxietey because of this (and, as I said, many women just don't remember and have to be hypnotized in order to find out). I can make jokes about havong been beaten, but I cannot make jokes about having been sexually abused (I went through the whole thing again in a spontanoeus flashback). Humanity has to get much more aware about what such traumatization (including hard beating) does to people. I believe that possbily it is t h e biggest problem of humanity and we definitely have to find a way out of this, if we want to improve the conditions for living on our planet.

Here is a hint for forceful: I don't like to read long texts on a display either. But if a longer text nevertheless interests me, I copy it into Word and print it on paper. Then you can usually read it very conveniently.

I will never be ready for humor about sexual abuse of children (I know this was not directly connected with it, there was one link in between, but I wanted to show what was lurkling directly behind this one link.)

Are you a forceful alt? If not: this is meant for people who really know what traumas are about and are interested enough in the subject matter to read an (admittedly) very long comment - not for any random user just looking out for fun here.

@Blindspot, Interestingly, your comment didn't include a reply link, so I'll put it here. No, I'm not an alt. Forceful clearly stated that this is intended to be funny. If you're too sensitive to see the humor, I'm sorry. Maybe another site would be more appropriate.

I've worked with sexually abused teens for twenty plus years now. I know a little about trauma, you might say.

Your comment was long, and dare I stumble into Trump territory, not especially interesting (to me). I'm also not sure that this is the best place for self disclosure. It seems like you're not ready for some types of humor. I was trying to be comical and brief, to avoid sounding nasty. Not trolling.

At least 28 flippers got the humor. Without baggage. We all bear "our own crosses" but we try to act in love and kindness and civility and honesty and fairness anyway. And we test our actions against our intentions and apologize or try harder when these two things (behavior & intentions) don't correspond.

Ah, yes my friend, you deleted the image were you admitted that it might be true, because your referee friends "decided" that you played fair in a subjective decision. But they forgot that there are new rules and I requested video proof!

Guys literally have no excuse for not communicating to a girl. I've seen you gaming with your friends and you're able to say things to each other like your life depends on it. That's because it's easier to say "shot gun in east hallway" than it is to say "you're crippling self anxiety is ruining this relationship."
